Police say a man fired shots during an argument in Manchester. He was arrested in Hartford.

MANCHESTER — A local man was charged with firing a handgun during an argument Tuesday night on Foster Street, police said.

Officers responded to 91 Foster St. 11:53 p.m. Tuesday night for reports of a domestic disturbance, police said. The residents at the home told police there was a verbal argument but would not provide any additional information.

The female resident told police she wanted to stay somewhere else that night and left the apartment, police said.

Police said officers determined a handgun was discharged by the male resident, 38-year-old Yoanni Suarez, during the argument. Officers had returned to the apartment to locate Suarez but were unsuccessful.

He was taken into custody with the help of Hartford Police Department Wednesday morning at 61 Stafford St. in Hartford.

Suarez was charged with first-degree threatening, unlawful discharge of a firearm and criminal use of a firearm, among other charges.

As a precaution, a "code yellow" was ordered at two Hartford schools Wednesday morning because the victim has a connection to the city school system, Hartford Deputy Police Chief Brian Foley said. "For her protection, a code yellow was put in place."

Under that directive, classes continue as normal but no one is allowed in or out of the school building, school spokesman David Medina said. Medina would only say that a district employee was involved in an incident that occurred at a "non-school location."

By noon, the code yellow had been lifted at Batchelder and Burns Latino Studies Academy after the suspect was found in Hartford and turned over to Manchester police, Foley said. "There were never any children in danger."

The suspect does not face charges in Hartford, he said.

Suarez is being held on $300,000 bond and will appear in court on Thursday.
